Abstract
We review NMR and NQR studies in the normal state of high-T c superconducting cuprates. Emphasis is given on the three major contributions brought by these techniques: the presence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations, the possible justification of a single spin fluid model, and the opening of a pseudogap in the spin excitations for underdoped compounds. Some recent developments are addressed and compared to theoretical models. In particular, quantitative analysis of the nuclear relaxation are detailed for 63 Cu, 89 Y and 17 O nuclei, enabling a comparison with inelastic neutron scattering data, and finally pointing out to a serious difficulty with the one-band approach.
